jrichards,
Here's a few thing I would try myself. Bilou_Gateux mentioned you can not use textmode drivers', so I'm not sure if this will ever work...
\* Check out this page, it has a few hints:
http://www.msfn.org/board/lofiversion/index.php/t19792.html
\- Add the following line to the .sif file to get the ATAPI cdrom drive to work:
"IDE CD-ROM (ATAPI 1.2)/PCI IDE Controller" = "RETAIL"
\- Make sure the txtsetup.oem file does not have dll= lines in it
(it says you should make the inf=)
Check out the following page, somewhere it says
http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=225863&admit=-682735245116721064212028353475
you need to have in the unattend section at least the following:
\[unattend]
OemPreinstall=Yes
OemSkipEula=Yes
OverwriteOemFilesOnUpgrade=No
replacing the dll= with inf= option seems to surface on lots of websites, so that's where I would start.
If this works you may not be there yet, since we need to have the actual drivers (the non-textmode drivers) during the part where windows actually starts up, but let's leave that for a moment and try these options first...
One more thing: make sure you edited the textfiles under windows, the installer may not be happy with files saved with only Linefeeds (unix) and not with Carriage-Return AND Linefeed (DOS).
Let's hope you can make it work.
@Bilou Gateux: we're simulating a RIS server aren't we? The textmode method should work then or am I totally wrong here?
